JBplus, yes they will bite and can mess you up , the one in the pic could remove your little finger or make your other ones shorter , they come out all kinds of ticked off, as for cleaning them thats the hard part ( if you ask me) you should place them alive in a clean tub of water for several days and swap out the water several times a day , that helps remove any mud/mossy taste . for dispatch use a hatchet or ax to remove the head , let them bleed out good some will hang them by the tail. its takes a good knife to seperate the top shell from the bottom ( I broke a very good hunting knife ;(  ). I just turn them loose and dont fool with them . If you have young ones with please keep them back a bit if you catch one

How do you kill and clean one of those? Do they try to bite you?

Perhaps it's an acquired taste...I grew up eating them, and still clean 4-5 a year.
